LONGWOOD, FL-Understanding God and what He thinks of us shouldn't be complicated. Simple Christianity (paperback, 978-1-60266-214-8) by Dave Brown takes the teachings of the Christian faith and makes them understandable and relevant, giving readers a life-changing perspective of how to experience the Christian life anew. Brown brings new insight to fundamental Christian beliefs that will give mature Christians cause to reflect on God's presence and power in their lives. New Christians will get a head start on experiencing the life God wants for them. Non-Christian readers will understand what Christians believe and perhaps find themselves drawn to the unconditional love of God.
Brown insists that Christian teachings "add up"-they must make sense, not be vague or self-contradictory, and they must be applicable to everyday life. Throughout the course of his book, he illustrates biblical truths with his own, daily experiences and observations, making Christianity personal and practical to all. He interestingly redefines some commonly used religious terms in ways that bring clarity where there's sometimes been confusion.
"Readers will learn the truth about God-how He is actually the Trinity, what makes Him angry, how He is humble, and why we can't mess up His overall Plan for this world," says Brown. Intriguingly, he continues, "They'll learn how to get what they ask God for, how to get His blessing, whether they need church or not, how prayer works, and what eternity is going to be like. All this will change the way most readers think."
Dave Brown is a pastor, a writer, and speaker who co-authored The Covenant Marriage Workbook (Covenant vs. Contract) with Phil Waugh. Dave and his wife, Lisa, have been married for more than 25 years and have two college-aged children, Corey and Allison. They live in Franklin, Tennessee.
